They are complaining about the use of the cube logo, the Silicon
Graphics font logos, referring to the workstations in plural such as
"Indigo's", using official pictures and not having a disclaimer that the
site is not authorized by Sgi, no products sold here are warranted or
authorized by Sgi and no warranties as far as the accuracy of
information is given by Sgi.
I put the disclaimers on my site, but no one has asked for the logo to
be removed. I don't have the resources to fight either.

Out of curiosity, what were they complaining about? If
it's just the use
of the SGI logo, that's easily remedied (I'll replace it with something
non-copyrighted... wasn't there a picture somewhere on the web of a
Rack Onyx sitting next to a dumpster?).
If, however, it concerns contents, (i.e. hardware hacks to the machine)
that may be another matter... however, I don't see how they could
pursue this, as long as you're not reverse-engineering a PROM. I still
believe you're allowed to take things apart, fix 'em and put 'em back
together again.
I will however, state that I don't have the financial means (or inclination)
to get into a legal fight with SGI over this...
